Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication on the prognosis of postoperative early gastric cancer (EGC).Methods: This is a retrospective study based on data from 6 hospitals. We identified patients with EGC who underwent curative gastrectomy from January 2010 to December 2016. All of the patients were tested for H. pylori. Patients were divided into two groups, the successful H. pylori eradication group (Group A) and the non-H. pylori eradication group (Group B), for calculating the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of each group.Result: Non-H. pylori eradication were statistically significant independent risk factors of overall survival (hazard ratio (HR), 1.760; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.067-2.902; P=0.027) and disease-free survival (HR, 1.728; 95% CI, 1.077-2.772; P=0.023).Conclusion: Eradication treatment for H. pylori can prevent the recurrence of postoperative early gastric cancer.

Background: An increasing amount of attention has been paid to minimally invasive function-preserving gastrectomy, with an increase in incidence of early gastric cancer in the upper stomach. This study aimed to compare oncological outcomes, surgical stress, and nutritional status between robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy (RAPG) and laparoscopy-assisted proximal gastrectomy (LAPG). Methods: Eighty-nine patients were enrolled in this retrospective study between November 2011 and December 2013. Among them, 27 patients underwent RAPG and 62 underwent LAPG. Perioperative parameters, surgical stress, nutritional status, disease-free survival, and overall survival were compared between the 2 groups. Results: Sex, age, and comorbidity were similar in the RAPG and LAPG groups. There were also similar perioperative outcomes regarding operation time, complications, and length of hospital stay between the groups. The reflux esophagitis rates following RAPG and LAPG were 18.5% and 14.5%, respectively ( P = .842). However, patients in the RAPG group had less blood loss ( P = .024), more harvested lymph nodes ( P = .021), and higher costs than those in the LAPG group ( P < .001). With regard to surgical stress, no significant differences were observed in C-reactive protein concentrations and white blood cell count on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7 between the groups ( Ps > .05). There appeared to be higher hemoglobin levels at 6 months ( P = .053) and a higher body mass index at 12 months ( P = .056) postoperatively in patients in the RAPG group compared with those in the LAPG group, but this difference was not significant. Similar disease-free survival and overall survival rates were observed between the groups. Conclusions: RAPG could be an alternative to LAPG for patients with early gastric cancer in the upper stomach with comparable oncological safety and nutritional status. Further well-designed, prospective, large-scale studies are needed to validate these results.

e16019 Background: Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is commonly given after the curative resection of gastric cancer (GC) in both Eastern and Western countries. Several studies have investigated the feasibility and safety of S-1 plus docetaxel or S-1 plus cisplatin. However, the best choice of adjuvant treatment for patients with gastric cancer is still debated. Apatinib, an oral small molecular of VEGFR-2 TKI, has been confirmed to improve OS and PFS with acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced gastric cancer refractory to two or more lines of prior chemotherapy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with S-1/docetaxel for locally advanced gastric cancer (T3-4aN+M0). Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical study. Patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, pathological stage T3-4aN+M0 who underwent D2 lymphadenectomy without prior anti-cancer therapy were included. All these patients were assigned to group A or B. Patients in group A received 6 cycles (21 days a cycle) of adjuvant therapy using S-1 (80-120mg/d, d1-14), and docetaxel (40mg/m2, d1). Group B received the same regimen with the addition of apatinib (250mg, qd.). The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). The final analysis cutoff date was 30 November, 2020. Results: A total of 45 patients were enrolled from January 2019 to November, 2010 and assigned to group A (21) or group B (24). The DFS was not reached in both of the groups. The 1-year disease-free survival rate was 60% in group A and 90% in the group B, while the difference was not significant. The main AEs in group A were anemia (55%), nausea (50%) and neutropenia (40%); The most common AEs in group B were anemia (45%) neutropenia (40%) and diarrhea (25%). There were no treatment-related deaths. The longest administered time of apatinib with no progression was 457 days. And the median time to receive apatinib was 329 days. Conclusions: Combination of apatinib with S-1/docexal chemotherapy shows clinical benefits in locally advanced gastric cancer (T3-4aN+M0), with tolerable toxicity. The study is still ongoing to reach our final endpoint, DFS. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR2000038900.

A randomized clinical trial of combination chemotherapy for patients who relapsed following primary radiation therapy for Hodgkin's disease was conducted from 1975 to 1981 by the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB). One hundred thirteen patients were prospectively randomized to receive 12 cycles of either CVPP (CCNU, vinblastine, procarbazine, and prednisone), ABOS (bleomycin, vincristine [Oncovin; Lilly, Indianapolis], doxorubicin [Adriamycin, Adria Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio], and streptozotocin), or alternating cycles of CVPP and ABOS. The median length of observation for patients in this report is 4 years. Toxicities of the three treatment programs were primarily hematologic. Frequencies of complete response were 72% for CVPP, 70% for ABOS, and 82% for CVPP/ABOS (P = .37). Females and patients who had nodular sclerosing disease at initial diagnosis had significantly higher complete response rates. The 5-year disease-free survival for the complete responders was 55%; the 5-year overall survival was 60%. There were no significant differences among the treatments on disease-free survival (P = .78) or overall survival (P = .18). Age under 40 years was the only significant positive prognostic factor for disease-free survival (P = .095) and overall survival (P = .003). This study demonstrates no statistically significant advantage for alternating cycles of combination chemotherapy in affecting complete response frequency, disease-free survival, or overall survival as compared with therapy with CVPP or ABOS alone. However, the power to detect differences in these outcome parameters is somewhat limited by the sample sizes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

PURPOSE: The efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in gastric cancer is controversial. We conducted a phase III, randomized, multicentric clinical trial with the goal of assessing the efficacy of the combination of mitomycin plus tegafur in prolonging the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with resected stage III gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with resected stage III gastric adenocarcinoma were randomly assigned, using sealed envelopes, to receive either chemotherapy or no further treatment. Chemotherapy was started within 28 days after surgery according to the following schedule: mitomycin 20 mg/m2 intravenously (bolus) at day 1 of chemotherapy; 30 days later, oral tegafur at 400 mg bid daily for 3 months. Disease-free survival and overall survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: Between January 1988 and September 1994, 148 patients from 10 hospitals in Catalonia, Spain, were included in the study. The median follow-up period was 37 months. The tolerability of the treatment was excellent. The overall survival and disease-free survival were higher in the group of patients treated with chemotherapy (P = .04 for survival and P = .01 for disease-free survival in the log-rank test). The overall 5-year survival rate and the 5-year disease-free survival rate were, respectively, 56% and 51% in the treatment group and 36% and 31% in the control group. CONCLUSION: Our positive results are consistent with the results of recent studies; which conclude that there is a potential benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in resected gastric cancer.

117 Background: Autologous, tumor-derived heat shock protein Gp96 peptides complexes have shown antitumor potential in various cancers. We conducted the first Phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Gp96 vaccination in adjuvant settings for patients with gastric cancer. Methods: Consecutive patients from November 2012 to December 2015 were enrolled. Participants were allocated to the experimental group or control group, receiving Gp96 vaccination plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone respectively. The primary endpoints were disease-free survival and toxicity. The secondary outcomes were overall survival and tumor-specific immune responses. Results: Thirty-nine and forty patients received Gp96 vaccination plus chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone in the adjuvant settings respectively. Significant increased tumor-specific immune responses were observed after Gp96 vaccination. There were comparable disease-free survival ( p = 0.413; HR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.37−1.48) and overall survival ( p = 0.485; HR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.24−1.96) between experimental group and control group. In subgroup of patients with stage II and stage III gastric cancer, patients who have received Gp96 vaccination had improved disease-free survival compared those who have not ( p = 0.044; HR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.22−0.96). Gp96 vaccination plus chemotherapy was well tolerated and no Gp96-related serious adverse event has been observed. Conclusions: Gp96 vaccination could elicit tumor-specific immune responses and could be safely used in adjuvant settings combined with chemotherapy. Patients with less aggressive diseases might benefit from Gp96 therapy.

311 Background: There is a lack of research on newly developed sarcopenia postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors and the clinical impact of postgastrectomy sarcopenia on the prognosis in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinicopathological data from 430 consecutive GC patients who underwent surgical resection at Chung-Ang University Hospital between January 2011 and December 2015. Their skeletal muscle mass and abdominal fat volume were measured by abdominal CT imaging. Results: A total of 425 patients were analyzed in the study. The mean age was 62 years old and male were 301 (70.8%). Of these, 42 patients (9.9%) were diagnosed as pre-operative sarcopenia. Compared with non-sarcopenic group, pre-operative sarcopenia groups showed more female, higher BMI, less alcoholic, and less smoking. However, there was no significant difference in 5 - year overall survival and disease free survival between the groups (p = 0.836 and p = 0.638, respectively). Among 381 non-sarcopenic patients, 48 patients (12.6%) were diagnosed as newly developed sarcopenia in one year after gastric resection. Compared with non-sarcopenic group, the newly developed sarcopenic group showed more male, more undifferentiated tumor, lower hemoglobin level, less alcoholic, less smoking, and presence of diabetes mellitus. However, there was no significant difference in the 5 - year overall survival and disease free survival among non-sarcopenic, sarcopenic, and newly developed sarcopenic groups (p = 0.521 and p = 0.534, respectively). The relationship between preoperative body fat volume and postoperative muscle mass showed a significant correlation (rho = 0.296, p < 0.001), but only BMI was significantly associated with long term survival. Conclusions: Although newly developed sarcopenia after surgery did not affect the survival rate, patients with nutritional risk of sarcopenia after surgical resection may require early evaluation of nutritional status and nutritional support.

Objective. Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor originating from gastric mucosal epithelium. Here, we aimed to investigate the analysis of the threshold change of gastric cancer tumor mutation burden (TMB) and its relationship with the prognosis of patients. Methods. 256 patients with gastric cancer were selected as subjects. All patients were in the advanced stage and received surgical resection of D2 lymph node dissection. After the operation, a follow-up was performed for 24 months, and the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients were counted. The NGS molecular biological was detected to obtain gastric cancer tumor mutation burden (TMB) data. Pearson correlation analysis software was used to analyze the correlation between TMB threshold and disease-free survival or overall survival of patients with gastric cancer, and the multivariate logistic analysis was performed as well. Results. The disease-free survival period and the overall survival period of patients in the low-to-medium TMB group were both longer than those in the high TMB group. Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the TMB threshold was negatively correlated with the disease-free survival and overall survival of gastric cancer patients. Results from multivariate logistic analysis showed that high TMB thresholds have a greater impact on disease-free survival and overall survival of patients, but the impact of medium and low TMB thresholds on disease-free survival and overall survival of patients is weakened. Conclusions. The TMB threshold level has a predictive effect on the effect of surgical resection of D2 lymph node dissection, and high levels of TMB can significantly affect disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with advanced gastric cancer.
